Maurice Durufl茅鈥檚 beautiful Requiem 鈥� one of the best-loved 20th century choral masterpieces 鈥� performed live by the 大象传媒 Singers under conductor Lionel Sow.
Imagine a music that seems to exist outside of time. Deep tranquillity and profound emotion fuse to create a single, indefinable feeling, and ancient chants blossom like flowers into rich, shimmering harmonies. But words can鈥檛 really describe Maurice Durufl茅鈥檚 beautiful Requiem: composed just after World War Two, it鈥檚 one of those pieces that quietly finds its way into your heart, and stays there forever.
The programme will be interspersed with five short reflections by contemporary women composers.
